As the Business Development (BD) Manager “Rainmaker” Federal Strategic Growth Manager , you will lead a high-stakes, end-to-end campaign designed to achieve specific strategic outcomes.

• Drive pursuit excellence in close partnership with Pursuit/Bid Teams—improving PWin through disciplined win strategies, clear value propositions, and competitive positioning.
• Own the investment plan required to win: ensuring technical/product inputs, talent, capital, marketing, and bid development needs are met; manage tradeoffs with rigor and transparency.
• Set the customer relationship strategy across the campaign; ensure call plans and engagement rhythms are executed and producing outcomes.
• Develop campaign branding and messaging with marketing/communications—ensure the campaign narrative is differentiated, credible, and compelling.
• Run the operating cadence—regularly update and present campaign strategy, pipeline, investments, risks, and financial outcomes; adjust fast as facts change.

• Experience working with political constituents and navigating complex stakeholder ecosystems
• Background in facility or equipment installation, maintenance, and modernization (planning through execution)
